(1) 6Al-2 Ignition Box

Product Description

MSD is excited to announce the next generation of 6-Series ignition controls - the 6AL-2!

All new housing, digital circuits and performance
Built-in 2-Step rev control with rotary dials
Higher output with up to 135mJ and 535 volts
Accepts Hall-effect, points and mag pickup triggers
Managed by an efficient digital controller

The all new ignition control combines a new housing, new digital controls and more power in a sleek package.
You still receive the 20° duration of multiple sparks, combined with higher output to ensure complete combustion. There is a 2-Step rev control built into the housing but there are no rpm modules! Adjustments are made via four rotary dials for 100 rpm increment control!
The all new capacitive discharge ignition will easily connect to nearly any 12-volt negative ground distributor system, even Hall-effect pickups.

With regard to the "two stage" limiter, when you refer to the one that can be set off of the clutch....is anything other than this unit required to use this in that manner, taking advantage if the two stages? In other words, will I have to buy something else in order to make use of the two stages or is it simply adjust the dials and go? I have a 5 speed manual transmission on a 1990 fox.

alright so im workin on ignition parts and i seen this what is it for? i dont really get it.Asked by jonathan v. from stockton | August 21, 2014 | Comment00

Best Answer:This box provides more spark than factory ignition. 535 volts of primary voltage with spark energy reaching up to 135millijoules! The multiple sparks of the 6AL-2 burn in the cylinder for 20 degrees of crankshaft rotation to ensure complete combustion.Two more great features are the rev limits! There are two rev limiters; one for high end overrev protection and another you can activate off a clutch or transbrake to set a launch limit. This feature will help your car blast off the starting line! Adjustments are made via four rotary dials for 100 rpm increment control!The all new capacitive discharge ignition will easily connect to nearly any 12-volt negative ground distributor system.Answered by Trey S.from Woodway | August 21, 2014 | Comment30

Does this replace the factory ignition module box, or work in conjunction with it?Asked by Jacob L. from Folsom | October 17, 2014 | Comment00

Best Answer:This is going to plug into your distributor harness, allowing you to have the rev limiter and 2 step along with the multiple spark. Answered by Josh H.from waco | October 20, 2014 | Comment10

I've never had any sort of launch controller on my car. I have an AOD right now but will be swapping to a C4 soon. I see how the launch feature works with a standard transmission, as you have a clutch pedal to disengage the engine from the transmission. But with an automatic, will I need a transbrake to make this work? Thanks.Asked by Mac M. from Vernon Hills | January 10, 2015 | Comment00

Best Answer:A trans brake will not be required, you can come up on the foot brake. However, you may run in to creeping through the lights depending on the stall speed of the converter and the RPM limit you set for the two step. With a little trial and error, you can match the selected rpm limit to the stall of your converter on the footbrake without having to worry about creeping.Answered by Jonathan M.from Hewitt | January 15, 2015 | Comment00

GREAT PRODUCT! My 92 lx had rough idle at cold start, and bad driveability, due to big cam,but now that I installed the new 6al2 box, it has better mpg , better idle, and response. Almost like a mini tune!!

This is a great product. The 2 step works awesome when you have a standard tranny and get tired of looking at the tach and the xmas tree lights at the same time. The ignition retard is also good for high compression engines. This worked flawlessly on my car!!

Yes, I would recommend this item to a friend!

Testimonial: Best Customer Service EVER !!

Had a problem with an order/quality issue. I put up a review stating so, and was contacted by Mike Linley, who was soooo nice and sooo professional, I almost felt bad about my review !! I felt the review was necessary because of bad welds/paint. Mike explained that they had a particular issue with that supplier and they had changed suppliers because of it. I must have mistakenly got an old set. (upper/lower Control arms-Foxbody). Mike asked a few questions, and was Sending me an updated replacement set while we were on the phone.!!! This is what I wish all Vendors would do; no arguments, no blame, no B.S. !! This is why LateModel stands out as an upstanding company, and backs up their products with AWESOME Customer service. Very rare in this day and age, and because of this I will be a customer for life, and will spread the good word ! Great to know some honest and Classy companies still operate in the good ol' USA. Thanks LateModel, and Thanks Mike !!! I look forward to seeing the New LCA'S and will review them too...You guys did the right thing and should and I'm overly impressed!
